We explore why sex is often a stand-in for communication in PLL, whether pleasure can ever exist without trauma on this show, what the Liars think about when they masturbate, the connection between appetite and desire, the writers' refusal to name bisexuality, and how the show tends to treat more hedonistic characters.
